I've no idea as to your ethnicity but it doesn't matter. My point remains. You should hang out with more black people. If it's not overly simplified Jesus drivel (taken from any number of the chitlin' circuit, neo-vauville unemployed r&b star vehicles that criss-cross the "urban" landscape) or Pimpin' Rain (Hustle and Flow... ew) it's this "comedy" (actually, see the aforementioned Jesus drivel). America in general and African-Americans in particular have confused pandering with connecting. But please don't lead anyone to believe that there's an underying sophistication here. It's simply the cinematic equivelant of McDonalds - and not even the one's in the white neighborhoods with green lettuce and decent service. Come to think of it, this crap's even less nutricious.
